TRAINING TIPS.

HOW TO BECOME A SPRINTER.

MUST BE SOUND.

Sprinting at full speed is a severe test of stamina, and too ex- acting an exercise to, be carelessly indulged in. If you mean to tackle It with any degree of seriousness, assure yourself first of all that you are organically sound, *.

From 100 to 150 yards is the distance which may be defined as a

· "sprint."

Before actually going on the track, the beginner needs some preparation on general lines. Begin with walk- Ing exercise. Do a trump of four miles outwarda and back dally, in the morning for preference. Take ten minutes of deep breathing ex- ercises an alternate mornings, com- bining these exercises, with 3 b dumb-bell movements. On the other mornings practise skipping, ex- ercise. After ten days of

these

varied exertions, you may get on the running track.

Get Set.

Your first object is to learn to get on your mark; your next one; and probably it is more important. is how to get off it. To get properly "set." the "all fours" method la best. Mal hole for your Jeft foot about six incites behind the scratch: Make another for your right foot about a yard in the rear. At the order "Get ready,”, drop your hands to the ground level on the scratch. As the pistol goes, bang off with the right foot, .lift- Ing your hands instantly on getting into your stride right away.

Practise this starting assiduously.
